Eelco Dolstra 833f2fc92d * GCC 2.95 compatibility. 2003-12-22 16:40:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cf0287c09e * Upgrade operation in `nix-env'. For instance, you can say
nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt

  to replace the installed `strategoxt' derivation with the one from `foo.nix', if 
  the latter has a higher version number.  This is a no-op if `strategoxt' is not 
  installed.  Wildcards are also accepted, so

    nix-env -u foo.nix '*'

  will replace any installed derivation with newer versions from `foo.nix', if 
  available.

  The notion of "version number" is somewhat ad hoc, but should be useful in most 
  cases, as evidenced by the following unit tests for the version comparator:

    TEST("1.0", "2.3", -1);
    TEST("2.1", "2.3", -1);
    TEST("2.3", "2.3", 0);
    TEST("2.5", "2.3", 1);
    TEST("3.1", "2.3", 1);
    TEST("2.3.1", "2.3", 1);
    TEST("2.3.1", "2.3a", 1);
    TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3", -1);
    TEST("2.3pre3", "2.3pre12", -1);
    TEST("2.3a", "2.3c", -1);
    TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3c", -1);
    TEST("2.3pre1", "2.3q", -1);

  (-1 = less, 0 = equal, 1 = greater)

* A new verbosity level `lvlInfo', between `lvlError' and `lvlTalkative'.  This is 
  the default for `nix-env', so without any `-v' flags users should get useful 
  output, e.g.,

$ nix-env -u foo.nix strategoxt
upgrading `strategoxt-0.9.2' to `strategoxt-0.9.3'

Eelco Dolstra f3c9783846 * Version numbers can be omitted in install/uninstall. E.g.,
nix-env -i foo.nix subversion

  The version number part of a derivation name is defined as everything following the 
  first dash not followed by a letter.

Eelco Dolstra a81b621202 * -u' -> -e'.
* `--link' / `-l' flag to specify the switch symlink to use (by default, 
  /nix/var/nix/links/current).

Eelco Dolstra e7ea52d3b3 * One-click installation :-)
The script nix-install-package takes a `Nix package file' (which
  contains one or more derivations, along with URLs of Nix caches),
  unpacks it, pulls the caches, and installs the derivations in the
  user's environment.

  For best results, associate the command `xterm -e
  /nix/bin/nix-install-package' with the MIME type
  `application/x-nix-package' and visit
  http://losser.st-lab.cs.uu.nl/~eelco/test/.
